mane, the catholic church was pretty much the first international corporation to be created. Money and power are their targets as is the case for 99% of people.

So, money power = ring from LOTR, Peeps want it => they envy you => they try to hurt you or to flatter you in one way or another (depending on their character).

GOD is the man who has managed to come on top. Not so difficult to comprehend. huh?

Better than the story of the hippy dude from the pseudo virgin mother who dies like a bitch to take our sins and is resurrected to brag about it?!!! oh, brother...

Oh I see. Thing is I'm not a Catholic. I'm a Christian. Catholic church was perverted by money and power and governmental influence. Hence various believers in Christ protested against the Catholic church demanding reform.

The God of Catholicism has been replaced by papal authority (man makes himself a god), but fortunately that has nothing to do with what I preach.

Sure, bad apples in every organization. Scripture warns about them. Although you seem to be drawing a parallel between the need for reformation of the Catholic church due to corruption and corruption in Christianity.

nope, it is against religious weerdoes like you mane...muslim, catholic, buddist same shit different toilet.

You are likely an atheist, which is fine. Studies on the demographics of atheism have concluded that self-identified atheists comprise anywhere from 2% to 13% of the world's population. Christianity is the largest faith with 2.2 billion adherents or 31.5 per cent of the world's population. There are about 1.6 billion Muslims around the world - or 23 per cent of the global population.

By comparison, Atheist and Agnostics together could be the third largest group. You are definitely not alone.

give it time.. as distance increases from the 1st century, more will come to realize the reality of religion and how it is based on superstition and old tales. Within 100 to 200 years I see Agnosticism or atheism becoming the dominant position. we've come so far with technology and science in the last 100 years, I can foresee even in our lifetime a trend to increase towards non religion

completely and totally agree with one exception in that I believe Christianity will become globally outlawed and all other non-Christians faiths/entities/opinions will unite into one cohesive "system of thought" that removes God altogether. atheists and agnostics have a lot to look forward to. a grand sense of "I told you so" to all Christians (and really the entire world). a unified, global purpose realized under the guidance and influence of science and reason shaped by atheists and reformed, former theists. all remaining, underground Christian adherents will likely be hunted, rounded up and jailed and/or killed. basically the world of anti-Christs will finally realize the dream of "no more God". it'll likely be a global party of sorts....a celebration of victory.....like the days of Noah.....the world shaped and lead by faithless men of reason and science.

I don't agree with any of your vision, although I wouldn't approve of Christianity being outlawed, I would enjoy a day when some well meaning politicians stop trying to sneak their religious rules and beliefs into laws. Outlawing that, (Not many people are swayed apparently by the exclusionary clause, hence the law suits believers keep losing) it would be nice to get it in black and white once and for all. Leave your religion at home or the church, don't bring it into government work

You'll eventually get your wish whether or not you agree with me and I have no expectation nonbelievers will ever agree with me. If I were to enter a room with an atheist and turn on the light and say "the light is on" I have no doubt that atheist would disagree and say "no the light is off".

The church isn't a building. The church is a community of believers. Wherever that body of believers happens to be so is the church. When nonbelievers tell believers to "keep God at the church" they do so in ignorance. Wherever believers are so is God and the church.....day or night, 24/7, rain or shine. Believers bring the church to nonbelievers because nonbelievers don't go to the church.

Then you don't understand atheists. If there is empirical or compelling evidence the light was on, they would agree with you

true. the reasonable, rational atheist would do that; unfortunately there really arent many (or any) of those in my experience LOL. atheists I regularly encounter disagree with theists on virtually anything merely on principle alone.

Well atheists only follow evidence if it first appears to agree with their presuppositions so when they disagree with theists all evidence has long been thrown out and generic principles (aka presuppositions) take precedence in all decision making and formation of opinions.

or science.. if it agrees with what the majority of scientist agree on based on the data
